I had hoped there might be some nice new images to the tombs of Maya or Horemheb which have opened at Saqqara, but I cannot find mich other than the image in the Independent story and similar odd images in equivalent coverage elsewhere. However, while I was looking I did turn up this photo of the discovery of Horemheb's tomb in the Valley of the Kings

Rather garbled news report which apparently refers to the destruction of one of the best preserved Amarna/Akhetaten boundary stelae at:http://english.youm7.com/News.asp?NewsID=340542&SecID=97&IssueID=149>My scant knowledge of the geography of the area doesn't help: e.g. is Asyut anywhere near Amarna? Also, the fact that the destruction took place FIVE MONTHS AGO looks odd. Let's hope it's a false alarm!
